"Miss Shenhe, Lady Ningguang has asked to see you." Baiwen entered the room and still saw Shenhe feeding Stelle.
Just now, Stelle stood up and stretched, then, after hearing that Lumine might still need some time to arrive, she lay back down.
She squinted her eyes, unconsciously chewing on the Apple Shenhe was feeding her.
It seemed she was truly exhausted, looking quite spiritless at the moment.
If her mouth wasn't still moving, one might even think she had fallen asleep.
"Understood." Shenhe nodded, fed the Apple in her hand to Stelle, and slowly rose.
Her gaze swept over the three of them, and she vaguely understood something in her heart.
"You all can continue."
"Ah?!" The three of them reacted quite strongly; even as Lady Ningguang's secretaries, they were battle-hardened, but hearing Shenhe's words still startled them.
"We, us?!" Baishi looked at Shenhe with a shocked expression.
"Yes, please." Shenhe said, then walked directly out of the room without looking back.
For a moment, the room fell into an eerie silence.
The three of them exchanged glances, and finally, slowly walked over to Stelle's side.
"Miss Stelle…" Baishi leaned down, looking at Stelle, who was lying on the chair, squinting her eyes.
"Hmm?" Stelle seemed to hear that the sound beside her was a bit off, and slowly opened her eyes.
She saw Baishi's pretty face with glasses.
"Where's Shenhe?" Stelle asked groggily.
She had indeed been a bit sleepy just now, losing some consciousness, and hadn't heard the sounds from the room, nor had she noticed when Shenhe left.
"She, she was called away by Lady Ningguang." Baixiao swallowed, her voice trembling slightly.
How to describe it? Stelle in this state was simply too unfair; they couldn't resist her at all.
"Oh." Stelle squinted her eyes again.
It shouldn't be anything major; otherwise, Lady Ningguang should have called her too.
Shenhe should be back soon—thinking this, Stelle slightly opened her small mouth.
"Ah~"
The three of them were originally still immersed in Stelle's charm, but seeing Stelle's action, they quickly sobered up, and then Baishi carefully picked up a piece of Apple, and, imitating Shenhe, placed it near Stelle's mouth.
Stelle unceremoniously swallowed it, but perhaps Baishi was too nervous, as her finger was positioned a bit too far forward.
Additionally, Shenhe's fingers and hers were slightly different in length, so Stelle still opened her mouth to bite the Apple as before, which directly resulted in Baiwen's finger also being swallowed by Stelle.
The somewhat groggy Stelle didn't react immediately; instead, she even licked it and gently rubbed it with her teeth.
Only when she realized it wasn't an Apple did she open her eyes with a slight hint of confusion.
"I, I'm so sorry, Miss Stelle!" Baishi quickly pulled her finger out of Stelle's mouth.
That finger gleamed under the sunlight from the window, making Baishi feel very embarrassed.
"Sorry, Miss Stelle, Baishi was a bit reckless…" Baiwen quickly stepped forward, took the nearly empty plate of Apples, and took over Baishi's work.
"Hmm, it's nothing." Stelle said a bit incoherently.
Anyway, Baishi's finger tasted pretty good, so she didn't really mind.
Baishi retreated to the side, and where the other two couldn't see, she stared at her somewhat damp finger, slightly lost in thought.
Then, as if possessed, she slowly extended her tongue and licked it.
Unfortunately, she didn't know at the moment that for those who haven't had intimate relations with Stelle, Stelle's saliva was a far more terrifying aphrodisiac than the food she made.
On an ordinary person like Baishi, who had no Vision and no combat ability, it instantly took effect.
Of course, even if she controlled herself, the outcome would be largely the same.
In such a confined room, at such close proximity, and with them already unconsciously affected, they were destined not to leave this room before tonight.

"Is Lumine coming?" Shenhe asked Ningguang.
"Yes, soon, let's go meet her together." Ningguang nodded, "Afterward, I will tell her the information I've investigated, and if possible, I hope you can also help Lumine."
Although this might seem like she was trying to send Shenhe away to have Stelle to herself, in reality, she truly had no such thoughts.
As members of Stelle's harem, under the influence of Stelle's constitution, they would never have any thoughts of monopolizing Stelle.
Ningguang was just genuinely worried that something might happen to Lumine.
After all, the Fatui had a Harbinger present, and that person's strength was unfathomable.
If Shenhe, as an adeptus disciple, could be there, Ningguang would feel much more at ease.
"I understand." Shenhe nodded, without any objection.
As long as Ningguang could protect and take good care of Stelle, she could do anything with peace of mind.
Moreover, her master was clearly working to resolve this crisis, and if she could do something to investigate the truth of the matter and alleviate her master's pressure, why not?
The two of them arrived together on the deck of the Qunyu Pavilion, quietly waiting for Lumine and Paimon.
They didn't have to wait long; soon, the two appeared before them.
"It's Shenhe!" Paimon excitedly waved to Shenhe, but then became a bit reserved after seeing Ningguang.
"Hello, Shenhe, Ningguang." Lumine also walked up, nodded to the two, and greeted them.
Given their relationship with Stelle, Lumine naturally felt close to them, and in fact, interacting with them didn't require too much effort.
She didn't even need to bring any gifts, but Paimon said that since it was their first formal visit, it would be better to prepare a gift.
Perhaps Ningguang would give a very generous return gift.
"Hello, long time no see." Shenhe nodded.
"Speaking of which, where's Stelle?" Lumine looked around but didn't find Stelle.
"She… is still resting; she didn't sleep well last night." Ningguang slowly replied.
"I see." Lumine looked at the two of them and saw that both were glowing with health, so it wasn't hard to guess what had happened.
"Don't worry, my three secretaries are taking care of her."
"Oh—oh?" Lumine's voice twisted abruptly.
"Ningguang, your secretaries, won't they…?"
"It's fine; just consider it a gift for Stelle."
"A gift, huh…" Lumine stroked her chin, recalling what happened before.
She had only been instigating Stelle to try and conquer, but she had never thought of delivering people into Stelle's hands herself.
She felt that when they arrived in the next country, she should change her strategy.
"What, what are you talking about??" Paimon looked confused; she didn't understand anything about gifts or no gifts.
"Ahaha, no, nothing, Paimon, quickly take out our gift for Ningguang."
